In an unexpected twist at Central Cee’s concert in Toronto, Drake wowed fans by announcing the revival of OVO Fest this summer.
The OVO Fest, which has been on a break for three years, is set to make a comeback, delighting fans who’ve been eagerly anticipating its return. Drake, making a surprise appearance, shared the news with enthusiasm, ‘I’ll see you this summer by the way. OVO Fest will be back this year.’
Meanwhile, Drake hinted at British rapper Central Cee’s involvement, adding more excitement by directly addressing him, ‘We’ll need you there for that.’ Although specific details about the event remain under wraps, this announcement has sparked waves of excitement among the festival’s followers.
Previously, OVO Fest last occurred in 2022, a memorable edition where Drake reunited on stage with Young Money performers Lil Wayne and Nicki Minaj. It seems this year might follow the pattern, as the 2022 announcement also happened during a British rapper’s tour stop in Toronto, then featuring the talented Dave.
Perhaps stirring more buzz, the festival’s return comes post-Drake’s feud with Kendrick Lamar. This beef shook the industry and could influence the event’s dynamics. Historically, the festival has seen performances from artists Drake had feuds with, such as The Weeknd and Rick Ross, adding intrigue to this year’s potential line-up.
However, even with potential drama, Drake has a solid lineup of artists from his OVO label at his disposal, including PartyNextDoor, Roy Woods, and Majid Jordan, who have graced the OVO Fest stages before.
With OVO Fest’s comeback, fans are on edge, eager for updates and wondering what surprises Drake has in store. The buzz around Drake’s summer announcement ensures the festival’s return won’t be missed.
